Spring
practices will soon be underway and with them comes the first glimpses at the next
generation of Dragon Football.

Outside of the annual
Green-White Game signaling the completion of Spring practices, Dragon fans will
have to wait until September 1 for their next football fix—so says the recently
announced 2017 schedule.

Thanks to graduation the
Dragons will sorely miss the experience from a long list of 2016’s notable seniors including; Mason Holmes, Carson Green and Jackson Davis on offense and
Robert Barnes, Barrett Buck and John Miscoll on defense.

The senior-laden 2016
roster went 10-2 on the season and eventually bowed out to state #2 ranked
DeSoto 48-30 in the area playoffs.

Head coach Hal Wasson and
the 2016 District Coaching Staff of the Year will be making the most of the offseason
as they determine who will join standout-returning players like Ryan Thompson
and Jacob Doddridge on the gridiron for that fateful first game.

In his 11th
season with Southlake Carroll Wasson and his Dragons will face a number of exciting
matchups. The Dragons will scrimmage Arlington before officially opening up the
year on the road against the Tigers of Broken Arrow (OK) on September 1, 2017.

Once again, ArlingtonMartin and Rockwall will be the Dragon’s two other non-district foes. The
Dragons defeated both teams on their way to district play.

The Dragons have a bye
week before opening district play at home against Flower Mound on September 29.

Coaches, players and fans
alike will all circle October 6 as the game to watch as the Dragons travel to
Euless to take on the rival Trinity Trojans (see last year's matchup).
